TO BOOST VOTING MACHINES.
Wieber Tries to Push Favorable Bills
Through Legislature.
An effort is to be made in the clos
ing days of the legislature to have two
bills passed which will tend to mak'J
the use of voting machines more pop
ular in this state, and. particularly, in
Detroit. Charles H. Wlebei has gone
to Lansing to urge their passage. One
bill provides specifically that voting
machines can be used In all promary
elections, while the other impose*
heavy penalties upon anyone convicted
of tampering with the machines.
There will doubtless be a contest in
the council, next Tuesday evening, on
the question as to whether the in
\estigation of the machines shall be
by a special committee or by the com
mittee on public utilities.
'ELECTRIC SHOCK KILLS MINOR/
“Guess I’m a Goner,” He Says to Com

BAY CITY. Mich . May 15.—Michael
Laskey, u miner, 30 years old. was
killed by an electric shock In the
What Cheer shaft yesterday after
noon.
Laskey nnd William Brabbs. his
“buddy," operated an electric chain
mining machine and the insulation
evidently wore off from some con
nection wires, transmitting the cur
rent to the metal of the machine.
When the two men touched It
Brabbs was knocked backward and
Laskey was pulled forward. Brabbs
got Laskey free from the machine,
but the latter died in a few min

DISCIPLINE RULES
ON MBSHIP
Machine-Like Precision of Every
thing Noticeable on Board Aso in
San Franciico Harbor.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 15—Disci-
Pllr.o! Discipline of a wonderful mu
chine-like nature.
That's the one big feature that
utiikcb the American visitor when he
hrst boards a Japanese war vessel.
There's plenty of discipline on the
wai ships of all other nations, but
i there s something dlffeynt about tho
Japanese brand.
It's the kind that makes the visitor
believe that if an officer walked up to
a sentry on the deck and said; “Jump
overboard and drown youraelf." there
wouldn't be a moment's hesitation
about complying.
When Admiral Ijichi received rep
resentatives of the United Slates on
board the Aso in San Francisco Bay,
the wonderful machine-liko precision
of everything was apparent in all the
minute details of naval eltquette and
all other affairs on board.
The squad of murines tnnt stood at
attention never varied their positions
nor the line of their rifles by a frac
tion. Their eyes never wavered from
the straight-ahead glance. Their ex
pressions betrayed not the faintest
curiosity. The officers were punctili
ous in their politeness, but it was plain
that every gesture, every bow was ac-
I cording to rule —no more, no less.
The Japanese sailor-men may lack
in Initiative, In originality, in Individ
uality showing in emergencies—in
various qualities which result
liable brilliant work shown by gun
crews on American ships, but their
clockwork discipline Is second to none.
Their attitude seems to indicate that
in the conduct of warships there is
nothing that ever permits uny thought
except that theirs is a deadly game of
science to be played with nothing but
cool heads, absolute carefulness and
wonderful discipline.

HUNT FOR FIEND
WHO SLEWJVOIUIAN
Woman Detective Leads Search for
Mysterious Person Who Killed Late
Oen. Lew. Cousin.
WINNEBAGO, 111., May IS. —Telltale
linger prints, painted in blood on the
lamp chimney. This Is all that re
mains to guide the officers of the law
in their task of finding the fiend who
slew aged Mrs. Margaret Urlppeu.
Just the red prints of five fingers
—but this may be enough.
In all the world there won t be an
other man whose fingerprints aie ex
actly the same as these. In all the
Bertillon records In all cities and all
countries there are not two alike. The
markings of the murderer's fingers
was his alone, and he has left that
mark where the keenest police blood
hounds could see.
His getting away was so easy, too
Dark, rainy night when all who could
remained Indoors. Quiet country town
of I.OOU people. No one In the house
of death except the unsuspecting vic
tim. No one saw the murderer In the
house. The dead could tefkao talei.
And no one else knew. His deadly
deed accomplished, he passed out into
the rain aud the night—silent, swift,
like another black ghostly shadow in
a night ot shadows.
But as he finished his foul deed, he
seized the lamp to set fire to the
house. In that he laid the trial for
his pursuers to follow —so plain that
they could not fail to see.
Leading the human bloodhounds In
tills chase Is a woman, Mrs. Mary E.
Holland of Chicago, expert In ftnger
pdnts. It was singularly fitting that
she should be called In —In this case
Where fingerprints play so large a
part.
Mrs Holland began her work by go
i Ing over all the finger marks in the
Chicago BertlUou bureau. She went
through thousands of them. None tal
lied. The murderer had never been
arrested in Chicago for a serious of
fense since the bureau was establish
ed. She then sent the prints of the
finger marks to every Bertillon bureau
In the country. She hurried to Win
nebago next.
Here Mrs. Holland learned that the
old woman went to bed every ulgbt in
fear of some mysterious person. That
she always barred the doors at night
fall. That every late visitor bad to
call his name through the barred doors
before she would let him in.
If Mrs. Grlppen feared an unknown
enemy, this clew was worthless. If a
known enemy. Immensely valuable.
Mrs. Holland followed up the latter
theory at once.
If a known enemy, who?
Mrs. Holland and the detectives who
helper her resolved on a daring course.
They took Augerpilnlg of every In
habitant In the village. The villag
ers, who loved the old woman, and
were shocked beyond all measure by
the ghastly crime, gladly submitted to
the process.
Now Nfcrs. Holland Is securing tht*
names of all people outside Winnebago
whom the dead woman knew. She Is
picking up every scrap of evidence
about the woman's past, trying to dis
cover some link of animosity which
might lead on to so terrible a crime.
Somewhere the man who killed
Mrs. Grlppen is hiding. He may have
been arrested and Bertilloned some
where In the country. Mrs. Holland
will soon know. Once known, every
police department In America will be
set on the trail. Any suspect who
may be implicated by any means will
at once have his fingerprints record
ed. It will be found out thus wheth
er or not he was in Mrs. Grippn's little
home that night.
Mrs. Grlppen, t>s. home-loving, a Wid
ow, A cousin of the late Gen. Lew Wal
lace, author of “Ben Hur,” lived alone
In her little home toward the edge of
Winnebago.
At 6 o’clock she left the home of a
neighbor with whom she had been
sewing. It was raining and stormy
and dhrk. She borrowed a cloak from
the neighbor. She seemed to have no
premonition that* death was a few min
utes away. She told the neighbor
good night. The door closed after her.
It was the last time she was seen
alive.
A few minutes after she reached
home, the detectives believe, a knock
came at her door. She had not had
time to lock It. The murderer met
her In the hall. If there were cries
of horror they were drowned In the
howling of the wind outside.
Neighbors put out the fire In the
building, and found the ghastly sight
In the- hallway. The old woman was
stabbed 38 times through the head.

Blnswanger, formerly half-owner in
the business, and who was actively as

the immediate future.
No wthat satisfactory arrangements
have been made with the owners of
the building recently destroyed by lire,
Julius and Leopold Freud, the work
of rebuilding the structure will be
rushed. The new flrmt desires to
open its doors to the public by Oct.
1, and this means some hustling on
the part of the builders. To expedite
matters, the work will be carried on
24 hours a day and seven days a week,
the men ebtng divided in three shifts.
The new building will be nine
stories high, of thoroughly modern
construction and an ornament to the
avenue. The total cost will be about
$125,000. It will be absolutely fire
proof. with an automatic sprinkler
system as an additional safegurd. Rest,
rooms and other conveniences will be
provided for patrons and three elec
tric elevators will convey them from
floor to floor. All the old departments
will be continued on a larger scale
than ever and some new ones will be
added.
Heyn’s bazaar was established over
30 years ago by Emil Heyn and his
brother, Harry. The latter sold out
his interest soon afterward to Mr.
Binswanger and now resides in Ham
burg. Germany. Mr. Fechheimer. one
of the new members of the firm, is
well-known In business circles, having
conducted the H M. Fechheimer ad

MONKEYS DRAW
!DOO_PER WEEK
Owner Refuses $25,000 for Highest
Salaried Monkeys in World—They
Earn $40,000 in 15 Months.
PARIS, May 15. —These two mon
keys are the highest salaried monks
in the world. They draw 4,000 traucs
a week—s 800 in real money.
H. B. Marinelli, who owns them, has
just refused $25,000 for the couple.
In the past 15 months they have earn
ed over $40,0007
Monsieur and Madame X. —that’s
what Marinelli calls the monkeys—are
vaudeville artists. Cheap actors are
• performers.” The monks are artists
with a big A. Nightly they are caus
ing shrieks of delight at the Olympia,
on a bill with Ethel Levey, formerly
Mrs. Geo. Cohan and Alexia the dan
cer, to whom Hammerstein paid $4,000
for four weeks last summer.
The stage of the Olympia was al
tered especially for the monkey act.
Out of the stage, on a trap door 10
feet by 10, rises a room, with Mon
sieur and Madame X. seated at the
dinner table. They are in full even
ing dress. They eat their meal with
knives, forks and spoons, use napkins,
Monsieur X. pouring water first Into
his wife's glass, then his own, all with
the politeness of well bred people, let
ter they undress themselves and re
tire in a small bed, the coverings of
which they turn down and pull over
them again.
Then the monks perform all sorts
of feats mounted on regulation bicy
cles, riding up a plank over a “saw
horse” and down the plank on the
other side; steering accurately in and
around many wiue bottles, placed on
the tloor, never spilling one; and last
of all. unassisted, mount a tandem
and whirl like "Joy-speeders" about
the stage.
The monks probably will be taßeu to
America next fall, but their owner
fears the ocean voyage for them;
they’re subject to colds, grippe and
pneumonia.
MORTON DODOES RENT.
Reason: Garbage Collection Not Up to
Specifications.
A verdict in favor of the defendant
was returned by a Jury in Judge Mur
phy's room. Friday afternoon, in the
case of Joseph M. Smith, against
Harry B. Morton. Smith, who owns
the Forest apartments, at Forest and
Becond-aves., brought suit to collect
lent, which Morton refused to pay.
The latter refused because Smiths’
system of collecting garbage did not
meet his idea of what collection really
means. It was agreed that the gar
bage should be collected by the Jan
itor, and Morton insisted that he call
for It and take it away. The system
employed by the Janitor was to send
up the dumb waiter on which Mrs.
Morton was asked to deposit the gar
bage can. The Jury decided that Mor
ton did not have to pay his rent.

Steamer line Evidently L Figure*
That Puhlio Pressure Will Foroe
Aldermen to Come to Its Terms.
No ferry boats are Pinning to Bella
Isle, although the usual time for opem
log the island season is past, and no
boats are likely to run while the com
mon council and the Detroit. Bella
Islq & Windsor Ferry Cos. sre dead
locked over the question of fares.
President Waiter E. Campbell, of
the ferry company, says that his line
has not hired crews nor prepared jj
Its boats for the season. He emphat
ically declares that the company will
not take out any license to run ud
der the old ordinance, which specifies
that one-way tickets must be sold far
five cents. Tencent round trip and
pleasure riding tickets only Is the ultl
matuin of the company.
A strategic feature is the fact that
work Is being carried on to make
Peache Island a park and ferry line
terminal. Mr. Campbell will not say
how long It will take to prepare Pache
island.
“The Belle Isle service Just about
maintained Itself last year,” he states.
“There are too many people pleasure*
riding on one-way tickets, and we sre
not going to take out any license un
der the old ordinance. It would take
several days to get crews and get the
boats in shape to run.”
“Can you use your Belle Isle boats
elsewhere if that service is not con
tinued?” was asked.
“We may be able to,” was President
Campbell’s reply,
' The ferry company apparently
counts on the desire of the public for
the boat service to force the aldermen
to pass a satisfactory ordinance when
the hot weather comes on.
